Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yang Xiaojin walked towards Ren Xiaosu while wearing a cap. All of Stronghold 88's celebrities knew who she was.
Meanwhile, the young man, who was also wearing sportswear, was standing on the lawn in a daze. It was as though he had not expected such a turn of events today. He had thought he would see her dressed in a grand gown and dazzled like the stars in the sky.
At that moment, even the stars in the sky would pale in comparison.
Therefore, he had come here today precisely to enjoy this scene.
But reality exceeded Ren Xiaosu's expectations. Not only did Yang Xiaojin not wear a formal gown, but she had also specially changed into a white sportswear with red lettering that matched the color he was wearing. Meanwhile, he was wearing a blue one.
In the young man's dreams, there would probably be scenes of a hero saving a damsel in distress. But it seemed like the world was playing a joke on Ren Xiaosu. He had only saved her once, yet she had stood by his side time and time again and helped him out of his misery.
At the banquet venue, everyone was holding their champagne glasses in a daze. Then they stared at them like bystanders.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but Ren Xiaosu felt like the people around him had turned into statues. The world was no longer noisy, and time had come to a temporary standstill.
The two of them were the same. They looked a little out of place with the neat lawn, smooth stone steps, and exquisite decorations here.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu realized he had been wrong. Yang Xiaojin had never been the consortium's princess that he had imagined. Instead, she was just like him, a weed that was willing to grow freely in the wilderness.
Ren Xiaosu said in a daze, "Why are you wearing this —"
But before he could finish speaking, Yang Xiaojin suddenly leaned forward slightly in front of everyone and grabbed Ren Xiaosu's hand. "Let's go. It's quite boring here. Let's go out for a walk."
The young girl pulled Ren Xiaosu away and disappeared from everyone's sight. It was only at this moment that the glaciers in the air started melting.
Someone asked in a low voice, "Who is that young man?!"
Yan Liuyuan quietly watched Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin leave. He originally wanted to follow them, but at this moment, he felt that the two of them were like the protagonists on the stage, and he should stand quietly in the darkness outside the stage and watch.
He knew how hard it had been for Ren Xiaosu. In the days after Ren Xiaosu was injured, Yan Liuyuan felt that he should have understood.
Therefore, when the bitterness was over, he knew that he should not disturb Ren Xiaosu's hope.
He had told Ren Xiaosu that if Yang Xiaojin did not come looking for them, they would not go to Stronghold 88.
Now, Yang Xiaojin had used her actions to show that she could do more.
Since that was the case, what else did Yan Liuyuan have to say? He was willing to sacrifice his own wishes for Ren Xiaosu's happiness. Wasn't it just suffering a little in the stronghold? It wasn't a big deal.
If Luo Lan could be willing to live like a stupid fatty for the sake of Qing Zhen, then Yan Liuyuan could do the same.
Thinking of this, Yan Liuyuan suddenly felt that Luo Lan, who was next to him, had become a lot friendlier. "Hey, Fatty, let's head back first."
Luo Lan scolded, "Who are you calling Fatty, you brat? Come, I'll take you home."
…
After walking out of the crowd's sight, Yang Xiaojin suddenly let go of him. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Just now …"
Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "Thank you for helping us out."
Yang Xiaojin seemed to heave a sigh of relief. "You don't have to be calculative with them. They're still immersed in the world they created and are feeling smug about it. But you and I both know that this world is about to change."
"Mhm," Ren Xiaosu answered.
"You haven't eaten yet, right?" Yang Xiaojin asked.
"That's right." Ren Xiaosu laughed. "I had already discussed it with Luo Lan that I would eat your family dry tonight. But in the end, I came out earlier than expected."
"Let's go. I'll take you to a small restaurant to have some delicious dumplings." Yang Xiaojin said, "I also wanted to tell you that we'll be setting off for the Northwest in seven days."
Ren Xiaosu wondered, "Why are we going to the Northwest? To Stronghold 178? "
"No." Yang Xiaojin said, "We're going to exterminate the bandits with the Soong Clan. The Yang Clan and Soong Clan Consortiums have jointly organized this operation. We're not going to completely exterminate the bandits. We just need to kill a certain number of them before we return. "
"Who else is going with us?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"The Soong Clan as well." Yang Xiaojin said calmly, "You must be careful on the road. Other than me, don't trust anyone."
Ren Xiaosu was stunned. He suddenly recalled their time on Jing Shan Road. At that time, the two of them did not trust each other, but they had formed a temporary alliance.
Now that he thought about it, that alliance seemed to be quite a good one.
No one mentioned the fact that they had just held hands. The stars were shining brightly in the night sky, making it perfect for supper.
…
The commotion at the banquet did not end with the departure of Ren Xiaosu and the others. Everyone started discussing it as though they had found some new gossip.
Many of the higher-ups knew what the purpose of today's banquet was. A young and promising supernatural being had come to the Northern Soong Clan, and Yang Yu 'an had arranged for Yang Xiaojin and Zong Cheng to exterminate the bandits together. His intentions could not be any more obvious.
No one was stupid.
The banquet had not started yet. Yang Yu 'an, the representative from Stronghold 178, and the young man from the Soong Clan were still discussing some matters in the villa. Only after they were done discussing the important matters and Yang Yu' an and the others walked out of the villa would the banquet officially begin.
But before the banquet even started, one of the main characters had already run off with someone else.
He did not just run off with someone else, he ran off with someone else!
At this moment, Yang Yu 'an and two young men walked out of the villa. He looked at everyone present with a smile and calmly took a glass of champagne from them. He said with a smile, "What's the matter, everyone? Are you guys discussing something interesting?"
Someone hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your niece left with a young man …."
Yang Yu 'an's expression did not change. He maintained his smile and said, "Oh? What kind of young man? "
Someone sighed at how shrewd Yang Yu 'an was. He could even keep a straight face.
Someone answered, "I don't know where he came from, but Luo Lan came with him. He was dressed casually."
Yang Yu 'an took a deep breath and said to Zong Cheng and Xu Xianchu, who were next to him, with a smile, "Zong Cheng, Little Brother Xu, sorry for the embarrassment. I need to take care of some family matters."
Xu Xianchu smiled nonchalantly and said, "What's the matter? Who abducted your niece? "
"It's a refugee named Ren Xiaosu. He's not worth mentioning," Yang Yu 'an explained.
Xu Xianchu was stunned. He suddenly asked the others at the banquet, "Where did Ren Xiaosu go? Which direction did he go in? "
Everyone at the banquet was dumbfounded. What the fuck was going on? It was a complete mess. "He probably went south."
Xu Xianchu apologized to Yang Yu 'an. "I'm sorry, President Yang. Ren Xiaosu is a good friend of mine. We haven't seen each other in a long time, and I'm indebted to him. I'll go look for him first. We'll talk about this tomorrow."
With that, Xu Xianchu chased after him!
